    Entitled "Patrick_Gervais" and found on a Flickr page which now seems to have vanished. Lucky Cecil if it was one of his.

  5. Thank you for the shout out, especially from a writer of a blog of such distinction.

    I am fascinated by 20th century photographers.

    I think your site is very well done... I love the look & the viewpoint.
